Religion of Anarchism
When society has no legal bonds between the parties within the community to coerce them to do righteousness in order to maintain their liberty, one must exercise their responsibility to God and neighbor to retain their rights. Without legal bonds limiting the rights of the people in free society, the emphases is upon relationship rather than any social contract itself.
Those relationships require diligence in voluntarism, forgiveness and giving. The slothful should be under tribute.[1] At one time this diligence within society was called Pure Religion. But when people do not care about the rights of their neighbor they must redefine the term Religion.
A government where taxes are voluntary would require a peculiar kind of people. Their citizenship would have to be written upon their hearts and their minds. They would have to exercise their divine responsibilities to maintain their individual right as kings of their own house by aiding their fellow citizen in doing the same. It would require a citizenry that did not steal, injure or even covet his neighbor's goods or family. It would require every natural citizen to come at a minute's notice to the aid of his neighbor to protect their God-given rights.
This would mean they would have to love the righteousness of God and their neighbor as much as themselves. This was required when Christ appointed a kingdom, His government, to his faithful disciples . His prime directive to the people[2] included the decree for those who would lead that they were not to exercise authority one over the other. His government ministers of His appointed kingdom were not to be rulers (archo). They were expected to be the benefactor to the people[3] by the free will contributions of the people, for the people, in pure religion.[4]
The Corban of the Christians was not like that of the Pharisees nor that of the modern State.[5] If an anarchy is a way of governing ourselves without the coercive rulers of the corporate state then Christ preached anarchy for the righteous. But the voice of the evil[6] people who fear liberty[7], are slothful, reject God, and elect rulers who do exercise authority, they are snared in a net of their own making.[8] No people, no nation, can be free nor should be free, as long as they covet their neighbor's goods through the socialist state, through rulers and lawmakers who exercise authority one over the other. If they have entered into such covetous schemes their only hope is to repent and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. They must form a body of free assemblies bound by faith, hope and charity alone which is righteousness.[9]
This is what the early Church did and what the modern Church has failed to do.

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.”
